Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Watching everyone become excited, Siana smiled lightly and waved her hand.

Swoosh!

A pair of earthen-coloured gloves appeared in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first of the final three items, the earthen gloves." Siana introduced, and after a short pause, she continued, "This pair of gloves is a mid-tier grade three earth elemental weapon, capable of boosting earth elemental spells by 25%. It also grants the user enhanced physical strength even if they aren't an earth elemental mage."

"Oh my god! An earth elemental weapon. What a pleasant surprise!"

"I have to get this. My son is an earth elemental mage who would soon be a three-star mage. It would be very beneficial for him."

"Even though I guessed that the auction house must have reserved some quality items for the finale, I didn't expect there would be an elemental weapon."

"Yeah, everyone knows how rare are the elemental weapons. It's no wonder the Greenwave auction house is among the top auction houses of our kingdom."

"Hurry up and tell us what the minimum bid is. I'm going to raise it by at least 10,000."

"Damn it. I used most of my funds on other items. I would have saved my money if I knew there would be an elemental weapon on auction."

"Yeah. I did the same. It's all the auction house's fault. They should've released the info about it too."

A commotion broke out as soon as Siana introduced the gloves. Some were excited and implored Siana to state the initial bidding price so they could start bidding, while some became downcast since they had spent most of their Mana stones on other items and started complaining that the auction house didn't inform them about the weapon beforehand.

Siana waited for a while before she announced, "The starting price of this pair of gloves is 100,000 low-grade Mana stones. Each increment must be 5000 Mana stones at least."

"150,000!" As soon as Siana's voice fell, someone from the second floor shouted his bid.

"200,000!" The people in the auction hall hadn't even reacted to the first bid when another voice sounded from the second floor and raised the stakes by 50,000 Mana stones.

"230,000!"

"250,000!"

"270,000!"

...

In just a few seconds, the price had surpassed 300,000 Mana stones. Only when it exceeded 350,000 did the bidding somewhat slow down, and people sitting in the auction hall came to their senses.

A middle-aged woman shook her head with a bitter smile on her face, "It seems we can't compete for the final three items at all."

"Yeah. I was foolish to think we had a shot at the finale items."

"It's not foolish. Because the guest from the second and third floors didn't show much interest in the previous items, it was only normal we thought as such in our excitement."

"Not that they are bidding; we can only be spectators."

In room 23, Janice glanced at Jack, whose eyes were twinkling in excitement and said, "It seems sir Jack is quite interested in this item."

"Yeah, miss Janice. Are you also interested in it?" Jack asked.

"No." Janice shook her head and casually commented, "You should know that most direct descendent of our Arasia family usually awaken metal elements. So, there is no need for me to compete for it."

"Yeah." Jack nodded before he added, "Well, our family has many earth elemental users, so I'm going to bid for it."

As he finished saying, he shouted his bid, "400,000!"

As soon as his voice fell, someone from the second floor raised it, "450,000!"

Jack didn't hesitate before raising it again, "500,000!"

This time, there was silence for a few seconds before the last bidder gritted his teeth and shouted, "510,000!"

"Haha, It's mine. 520,000!" Jack laughed out loud.

After his bid, there was no other bid for a while. Jack became slightly impatient and called out, "Miss Siana. Since no one is going to raise it any further, why don't you announce the winner."

Siana glanced indifferently toward room number 23 before asking, "The guest from room number 23 has bid 520,000 Mana stones. Is anyone going to raise it?"

Hearing this, the crowd also turned to the room on the second and third floors while Jack felt his breathing quicken slightly as he prayed that no one would bid for it.

Unfortunately for him, right after Siana's voice fell, a slightly arrogant voice sounded from room number 4 on the third floor, "550,000!"

"Damn it!" Jack punched the table in frustration and thought, 'Why is it someone from the third floor once again?'

He hurriedly took out his communication crystal and said, "Elder, there is a mid-tier grade three earth elemental weapon: a pair of gloves. The bidding has reached 550,000 low-grade Mana stones. Should I continue to bid for it?"

After a moment, a reply came back, "Buy it under 700,000 if possible. If not, leave it."

"Okay!" Jack replied and put away the communication crystal. He then shouted, "600,000!"

'As expected of one of the kingdom's richest families. They are willing to spend so much just for a mid-tier grade three weapon.' Janice mused inwardly.

Contrary to what everyone expected, the guest from room number 4 didn't increase the bid again.

Siana asked everyone last time whether anyone was willing to raise the bid, and when no one responded a few breaths, she announced, "The pair of gloves now belongs to the guest in room number 23."

"Nice!" Jack exclaimed happily when he heard this. Since he got the gloves for 100,000 less than the limit stated by his Elder, he would be praised for this.

Siana put the gloves away and said, "These will be delivered to you after the auction ends."

She then continued to say, "Now, let's move on to the second item of the finale."

Everyone's eyes were trained on her as they waited with bated breath to see the next item.
